MCT:March 21, 2008This movie was horrible. It was more violent than a Martin Scorcesse film (which is incredible). There is no respect shown towards women in this film. All of them are easy, and thrown around, and bought with money, and draped all over the guys like the guys have a RIGHT to own them! No wonder there are guys out there who disrespect women, and believe that they deserve to have many women! Absolutely disrespectful and horrible. Also, I really didn't appreciate the porn in this film. It was completely disgusting. This film is a repulsive display of the most vile thoughts that could ever be thought. This film is the equivalent of the thoughts of the most horrible, disgusting, vile, nasty, dirty, old man- who is probably sitting in jail right now, wishing he could watch this movie... because only a horrible, disgusting, vile, nasty, dirty old man criminal should be watching films like this. Absolutely REPULSIVE.

MCT:January 29, 2008this is one incredible film and very intense, a film that intrigues you, a film that could easily ring the truth on some areas of Jamaica a country where being the top playa or gangster is the main deal. A film with that dialect of theirs that's very dope and interesting, with the culture but mainly typical gangster bullshit, respect, money, hookers, bla bla bla. If u've liked City of God (Cidade de Deus) u're gonna love this one!!!

This has been called 'The Jamaican Scarface'. What utter blasphemy. However, this film was actually good. I was expecting your typical gangsta fare: shoot-'em-up, bling-bling, money-cash, ho's.... Though the storyline was typical, something made it all come together. Let's examine this:
1) The cast was real Jamaicans with REAL Jamaican accents. It annoys me to no end to see Americans (or otherwise) playing Jamaicans. If you want to see what I mean, just rent 'The Mighty Quinn' or 'Cool Runnings'.
2) The soundtrack, all roots reggae and dancehall, was blazing.
3)Sexy men all through the movie (goodness....)
Number 3 was kind of superficial, wasn't it? Oh well.... The only downside to the movie was Wyclef. I used to dig him back in the 'Guantanamera' days, but now he only comes off as an arrogant prick. (By the way, WHY-clef is the Americanized pronunciation of his name. It is truly pronounced WEE-clef.)
Anyway, gratuitous bloodshed, degradation of women and cursing abound. But again, this movie just works. -

Way to go Shottas! They are hanging in there and not giving up on their product! Big-up to the whole massive dat put dis one to-gedda!
-
MCT:February 4, 2007Although it's concidered one of the better hood films like Belly. Shottas is told from a Jamaican point of veiw.

MCT:January 25, 2007
I am upset they had to change the soundtrack to the official version. Plus, my favorite Wyclef line was removed. Otherwise, I would have given this more stars
